Copy and Paste from the Event Flyer:What are car shows all about, and what’s the best way to prepare to attend one? With the car show season starting soon, please join us for this overview of the background and structure of car shows. We'll also cover some evaluation techniques that you can use on your own car to determine your strategy to show it at its best. Car show newcomers and veterans alike will find the material presented in this class invaluable in preparing to participate in and enjoy future shows.

This is not a "How to Restore Your Volvo" or "How to Detail Your Volvo" class; the focus will be on providing a summary of how shows are typically structured, including judging procedures, and how you can evaluate your car so that your time and resources are spent wisely. While this class is geared toward Volvos and typical Volvo Club of America/Volvo Sports America(VCOA/VSA) meet formats, the information to be presented applies to all types of car shows.

Long-time VCOA/VSA member Jon Manji will be conducting the class, which is based on his car show experience. He has served as Field Captain for two VCOA national meets and performed other judging duties for many other meets and shows.
